Some curious statistics have been published con-
corning the salaries given to members OF parlia-
ment In various foreign nations To begin with
France, the senators and deputies receive the same
remuneration. namely: E1 sterling day. In Bel
GUM each member OF the chamber OF representa-
tives gets cit month. InDenmark the members
OF the Landsthing are paid about 15s. day. In
Portugal the peers and commons are given the
same sum. which Is E67 year, In Sweden the
members OF the diet receive SEQ for q session OF
Tour months, but they have to refund q nne
OF lbs. for every days absence. That is
not bad idea. In Switzerland the members
OF the national council get los. per diem, and
those OF the council OF state from 6s. to los In
Norway the members Of the stOrthinG receive l4s
a DAY during the session, which lasts about six
weeks IN Italy the senators and deputies are
not paid, but they are allowed travelling expenses
ana h Certain privileges In Spain the members Of
, vantages and immunitiea In Greece the senators
get $50 month, and the deputies rlO. In Ger
many the receive an average OF los
| a day. In Austria the pay Is the same as In
France, 81 day. England Is the only country
where members OF parliament are not only UNI
! paid, Tut have no right TO privileges.

does not make the man. but also know that it makes
wonderful difference in his appearance, and that no

always to give gentleman perfect fit, whether he

Growth Of the British Empire.

From the Levant Herald.
The Melbourne argus with its jubilee number
presents to Its readers map of the world on Mer-
Gators projection showing the British possessions
wherever they exist, with statistical tables exhib-
it1ng the progress made during the reign OF Queen
Victoria. The compiler OF these statistics has d.
vided the British Empire into the following groups:
The United Kingdom, the Dominion OF Canada
British West Africa, South Africa the Indian EN-
pre- and Australia, giving for each group the ex-
its trade at the periods OF the queens accession
and the jubilee year. AS may be expected the
trade returns from India and Australasia show a
very rapid increase, that OF India being more than
I'VE times greater than 1t was In 1851 and during
the same period the trade Of Australasia has in
creased tWelvefOld. The six divisions taken to-
gether give the following comparative results for
the entire British Empire:
Square Miles.

the empire has doubled. and its trade has In
creased dvefold. Without wishing to boast or to
draw tnv1diOuS comparisons. it may safely be
stated that, although the prosperity reached in
the Elizabethan and Georgian eraS was remarka-
ble that OF the Victorian era throws both consid-
erably into the shade, while comparative history
In the present day contains nothing superior to
the present position of Great Britain AS head of

is charged with. Prosecuting Lawyer
Dan Lawler has been working up the
case for about three months, and he got
out the warrant for the prisoners ar

and is liable to be settled to-day. Dan
